Last year China installed more solar than the rest of the world combined, but they have less than 1/5th of the worldpopulation 🤷

There are lot's of things you can criticize China about, their commitment to renewable energy isn't one of them.

Of all ways to get rid of dictators you choose Lybia as a good example. I rest my case.

Current events show that guns are pretty useless against dictators, people do just happily vote them in power. The right to free education would have been a better weapon.

Sure they can

It's mathematically proven that no voting system is perfect, so you'll have to choose what you value most in a voting system. There is no clear best system.

I think the arguments for approval voting are strong. It's simple and easy to understand, no need for complex multiple rounds of counting. Since you can't rank candidates it doesn't suffer from the spoiler effect.

In your hypothetical scenario you're forgetting the Trump voters who will vote for Sanders again after they see Biden nearly beating him. RCV has a bigger problem which is called the spoiler effect where, without strategical voting a loser can influence the election results. And am I missing something or should the numbers in your RCV list add up to 100%?

A big drying rack for things that don't go in the dishwasher. Drying with a towel sucks and is unhygienic.

Maybe (probably) I'm just stupid and clumsy but cleaning as I go means cooking takes even more time and effort. I do it exactly the other way around, to minimize cleaning time I only clean my kitchen every few days when my counter gets too full. YMMV.

Both is best.

Enlighten me which part of the Netherlands doesn't eat bland food ;)

No, exactly the same parts of Europe. Both the Dutch and the English were know for their spice trade and are known for their awful food. The rest of Europe has better food and terrorized and colonized for other reasons.

But would the current administration be the current administration without wealth hoarding psychopaths?

How is sticking a sticker on your car dragging other people into something?

You're going to need a team of people, fly them in and out and make sure they get back home alive or it might hurt the president's polls. It might be cheaper but it's much riskier. Nobody in the US cares about those 52 other people so that doesn't really matter to them.

I'm surprised they didn't use drones.

It is mentioned in the text, but I don't see anything redacted in the screenshots either.

Edit: It could be in the very first message, it's not clear if there is text between the first and second screenshot.

A CIA spokesperson asked us to withhold the name of John Ratcliffe’s chief of staff, which Ratcliffe had shared in the Signal chain, because CIA intelligence officers are traditionally not publicly identified. Ratcliffe had testified earlier yesterday that the officer is not undercover and said it was “completely appropriate” to share their name in the Signal conversation. We will continue to withhold the name of the officer. Otherwise, the messages are unredacted.

Imagine if those people looked up to us, we'd have to really question our values.

Canonical ships ZFS like Nvidia ships proprietary drivers, which seems to work (legally and technically) but it means the development of ZoL is a bit cumbersome and can never be integrated in the kernel development like other filesystems.

CDDL is not LGPL and is GPL incompatible

Yeah, I don't understand who's still in doubt about Russia's true motives

Anything else than democracy is shittier

What I mean is the pivot to the east was pretty clear with Obama. With Trump? I think he sees China and Russia more as a role model than an opponent, but who knows what's going on in his mind.
